Home Sweet Home (At Last!)

We moved into our new home on Monday. We have been busy the past few days emptying boxes, creating fresh new spaces, organizing, reorganizing and finding just the perfect spot for everything! Here is one new space of our home that I am extremely grateful to have. I call it the art room. It is a small room adjacent to our kitchen/living room space that we have dedicated to art, sensory and project activities for Grace and Jack. It is Grace and Jack's very own space where they can learn, imagine and create! I anticipate lots of time will be spent in this room.
I am so thankful that all of the windows in our new house are positioned low enough so that every room in our home is "a room with a view" for Grace and Jack. They both love to stand at the windows and take in the the animals and wildlife that surround us. In the picture above Grace is watching a rafter of wild turkeys in a field adjacent to our home. We have also been enjoying getting to know the nineteen cows and one calf that visit our home several times each day. There will be many more pictures to come but I am off now to unpack a few more boxes. There is still so much more to be done!!!

We are so thankful and extremely appreciative to have had Maddy and Poppy with us for the past several days. They were a tremendous help to all of us during our move. Maddy and Poppy worked so very hard to help us unpack and get settled into our new house. They were busy working every minute they were here with us. Maddy and Poppy left to go back to Vermont yesterday and I hope they get some much needed and well deserved rest! Thank you, Maddy and Poppy, for all that you did to help us with our move.

Congratulations on the new house. How marvelous that you have a designated room for the kids to make art. I love how much natural light the room provides. Enjoy your new home!

Your new home is tremendous! It is the perfect space to nurture 3 beautiful children as they grow. We love every little corner [and there are lots!].

May you fill it up to the rafters with love, joy, and laughter. We cannot wait to hear all the new stories as you make memories.

Love to You,
Maddy + Poppy
